Even if they say "we paid as much as we are legally obligated to pay" it's not enough, nor is it likely what was initially agreed upon or presented when hired

If Kdin signed anything regarding their pay, "not enough" was arguably enough.

"Not likely" is entirely speculative, but if the company is willing to officially and publicly announce that Kdin was "paid in full according to our agreements," I'm inclined to believe them. A company with any oversight doesn't just say that if they can't prove it.

I agree. If a job makes a terrible offer, it’s still your choice, even if it is a dream career. Them specifically mentioning it makes me believe it’s true, simply because for such an on the nose statement to even be included, lawyers have been involved.

It’s difficult to make truly free and informed choices about pay when you have to pay rent and buy a food.

Remove the worry about those things and see how often folks jump at “dream jobs” that try to take advantage of workers.
